Off the Beaten Path Bike Tour

Off the Beaten Path Bike Tour

Experience Paris like a local.

View Paris through a local's eyes with this exclusive bike tour! We'll start our morning near a popular métro stop that joins the eclectic 10th district with the trendy 19th district. After picking up our bikes, we'll cycle along the canal where we might witness a pétanque game in action or new street art being made in the moment. We'll continue to Buttes Chaumont Park where we'll enjoy a stroll around the waterfall and suspension bridge.

Next, it's on to the highest natural point in Paris, Belleville Park. You'll have a breathtaking view of the city and a chance to see how Parisian truly live. Continuing through the bustling neighborhood, we'll enter Place de la République, a popular meeting area for social movements, skaters, and musicians. Finally, we'll enjoy a break at a local park where you can pick up a craft beer or natural wine at a speciality shop.

This tour is recommended for confident riders as there are a few hills involved, and more riding in the road than our Paris Day Bike Tour. We can accommodate some children on this tour, but we prefer that they be steady on a bike and 9+ years old (see our bike sizes here). Be sure to book in advance if you'd like to reserve a kid's bike!

This tour explores the 10th & 19th arrondissements of Paris meaning we will not be biking to the major tourist sites, but instead through local Parisian spots. It is perfect for anyone wanting a more unique perspective of the city, or for Paris veterans looking for something new!

Unfortunately, this tour isn't ideal for kids. We have a very limited number of smaller bikes available at our departure point and the route can be very hilly. Feel free to give us a call or get in touch with us if your child is an exceptional rider for their age and we'll see what we can do.

While all of our tours maintain a leisurely pace, we want our guests to have fun and be safe, so being able to ride a bike is paramount.

Our Off the Beaten Path Bike Tour is perfect for intermediate-athletic bike riders. You should have good balance, be able to start and stop comfortably, and be familiar with hand brakes. Much of this tour is uphill and on roads, so we ask that all guests feel confident with their riding ability. Safety is our number one priority but confidence in yourself is the first step to overall group safety.

If you're not sure how you'll fare, we invite you to try our Paris Night Bike tour first.

In Paris adults are not obliged to wear a helmet, however they are mandatory for children under 12. We have helmets of all sizes available, please let us know during your booking if you would like to reserve helmets.

The Paris Day Bike Tour is where you'll get the most information about Paris and see the major sites such as the Eiffel Tower from the Champ de Mars, the Louvre, Place da la Concorde, and more. We hear one of two comments most often after the Paris Day Bike Tour. Either, "Wow, I'm so glad I took this because now I know what I'm going to do the next few days while I'm in the city" or we hear, "I can't believe I'm leaving tonight because there's so much more in Paris that I didn't know about and I've missed it all."

Our Local Paris Bike Tour explores a completely different part of Paris than our standard Day Bike Tour, and we have customers who take multiple tours during their time in Paris. We guarantee you will have a completely unique experience on each tour! This tour is recommended for confident riders as there are a few hills involved, and more riding in the road than our Paris Day Bike Tour.
